Editor’s note.
The text of this electronic edition of The Greater Key of Solomon was taken from the American edition of 1916 published by L.W. deLaurence. It substantially duplicates that edition with the following exceptions:
• Several long, irrelevant interjections by deLaurence have been removed, as have his self-promoting frontispiece and splash pages.
• The footnotes have been eliminated as contributing nothing of significance to the meaning of the text. They consisted largely of pompous “admonishments” by deLaurence, advertisements for his products, and opaque source notes.
• Where possible, illustrations have been moved close to the place where they are referenced in the text.
• The formatting has been changed to conform to modern conventions.
The scanned illustrations have been optimized for printing at 300 dpi; with some combinations of computer monitor and driver software, the onscreen images may appear blocky or crude.
For the best reading experience, I recommend printing this document on nonglossy paper tinted a light ecru or tan color.
